Chapter 13:

Amber POV

I looked at Bella lying next to me. “You want this or me baby?”

“You will piss them off more Amber. Have fun. I’ll get mine later.”

Time to play. About three things I was absolutely sure of. One the Cullen’s were arrogant kidnapping assholes. Two, they wanted to change Bella into a vampire to be some Stepford wife for Eddie. And three, I was going to unconditionally and irrevocably burn this fucking house down before I escaped.

I continued staring at Carlisle. He looked sad.

“Whats wrong Doc Fang?”

“Amber, I would like to speak to Bella.”

“Bella only speaks to her mate Paul. You may know him. Big guy, ripped abs, huge cock, gorgeous smile, beautiful, turns into a big silver wolf, is going to be eating you when he finds me.”

“Bella we are not in Forks anymore. It is doubtful since it appears he didn’t mark you that he will find us here. You need to concentrate on getting well.” I heard Edward say from the corner.

“I told you this is Amber. I won’t tell you again.”

“I am not going to give in to your delusions anymore Bella. We tried that and you got worse.”

“Baby you ain’t seen me bad yet.”

“Bella, we are going to start therapy.” Carlise said in a calm soothing tone.” I realize this stemmed from us leaving like we did.” We are all sorry for that. We should not have listened to Edward. It was a mistake on our part. But Edward understands the error his ways and we all promise we will never leave you again. I want to start by having each member of the family speak to you alone and apologize for their actions. Then we will start group therapy.”

Oh this is going to be good. Carlisle wasn’t apparently finished. “If we can’t get you better I believe changing you may do some good and perhaps help you get your old personality back. Amber is just a part of your imagination. She is not a separate entity.”

“Of course I’m not a separate entity. You think Bella is stupid? Besides you can’t change me.”

“And why is that Bella?” Alice asked.

“Because I’m pregnant.”

Silence. Thank God, that shut them up.

“Uh Bella are you sure?”

“Yes Carlisle, Bella is sure.”

“I would like to give you a test and then we can determine how far along you are.”

“Yeah that’s not happening. I am not peeing on a stick for you. And you can’t make me. You have to have consent to treat right Carlisle? Or have you totally given up the doctor façade and admitted to being the monster you really are?”

“Fine Bella we will talk about it later when you are feeling calmer.”

I noticed Eddie standing in the corner looking like he could cry if he could.

“What’s wrong Eddie?”

“I’m upset that I let things get so far that you are pregnant with a monsters child.”

“Edward, do not talk about Bella’s baby like that!” Esme shouted.

“Thank you, Esme.”

“You’re welcome dear.”

“You know if it’s a girl, Bella was thinking of combining your name and Renee’s name. She was going to call her girl Renesmee after the two women Bella considered her mother.”

“She was? You are? Oh my, what an honor that would be.”

“No I’m fucking with you, Esme. What kind of stupid ass name is Renesmee? Seriously?” Wiped that grin off the bitch’s face.

“Bella, I think… ,”Carlisle started to speak.

“Carlisle?”

“Yes Jasper”

“We have a problem. A news alert just came across my Iphone. Turn the TV on to CNN.”

I watched the good doctor turn the TV on. This should be interesting.

“Yesterday afternoon, Bella Swan, the daughter of the Chief of Police in Forks, Washington was kidnapped.”

Jasper spoke up. “This makes no sense. Why would Bella’s kidnapping be national news?”

“Her father, Chief Charlie Swan contacted the FBI. It has been determined by witnesses that Bella Swan was kidnapped by an Edward Cullen at gunpoint. Edward is apparently an ex boyfriend who had been stalking her for months. It is believed he has crossed state lines with her by the FBI. Edward is believed to be aided by his family. Edward is the adoptive son of Dr. Carlisle Cullen, a respected Forks physician. Dr. Carlisle and his wife Esme have two adopted daughters, and three adopted sons. It is believe he is running a cult of some type and it is believed to be possible that there is sexual abuse involved. Chief Swan believes Dr. Cullen feels adding Bella to his family would complete his sex cult.”

“This is not good.” Emmett the genius spoke.

“In another surprising twist the FBI began a forensic search of Dr. Cullen’s bank accounts. It has been determined that he is possibly practicing and has been practicing under assumed names for a while now and the FBI is concerned about possible links to terrorism. So far the CIA and FBI working in conjunction with the IRS have seized $11 billion dollars of Dr. Cullen’s assets, a staggering amount. In addition several properties domestic and overseas have been discovered. Interpol is currently searching these properties to determine any link to possible terrorist funding. These are images of the suspects. Surprisingly no photos of the family members exist but hospital and school security cameras have given authorities more than enough head shots that law enforcement and the public should be able to identify these fugitives if they are seen.”

“Oh shit. This is really not good.” Emmett really is smarter than the others give him credit for.

“If these people are seen authorities should be notified at once. They are to be considered armed and dangerous. We will be continuing to run this story nonstop until Chief Swan’s daughter is returned safely and the Cullen sex cult as they have been deemed by the news media is behind bars.”

Oh this was good. I turned to Carlisle. “Carlisle, are you really going to sexually abuse me? Because I could give you a list of positions I like and good camera angles to catch my most flattering sides.”

Silence. I was getting really good at making vampires silent.

“Great job fearless Coven leader” I heard Rosalie scream,” You think the Volturi might notice this shit? Fucking Interpol is after us now. Alice, how the fuck did you not see this coming?”

“The Wolves must have helped Charlie plan his actions.” She mumbled.

“Everyone calm down. They don’t know about this property yet or they would have been here by now. The first thing we need to do is get Bella well so she can help us and not hinder us. Then we will need to find a new place to go. Jasper, start moving the unfrozen assets around. Then call Jenks and get us new documents. Esme start looking for new properties around here. We can’t risk moving Bella very far. Rose you are going to start with Bella on one on one therapy.”

“Me? Why the hell do I have to do it? I could have cared less if we left her. I didn’t want us involved with her in the first place. Then I told you we should leave her alone. If you had listened to me we wouldn’t be in this mess.”

“Rose, if you want to help us get out of this mess I would suggest start talking to Bella. You were never welcoming to her. Maybe if you were she would be more receptive to coming back to us.”

And with that I was alone with the Ice Queen. Damn those fuckers move fast. I looked over at Bella who was rolling around on the bed laughing. Good old Charlie.

“So Rosy, shall we begin?”

“Begin what?”

“Therapy, of course.”

“Why, so you can continue to play games Bella?”

“Now Rose, you wouldn’t want Carlisle and the family to disrespect you anymore than they already do.”

“I am not disrespected.”

“Are you fucking kidding me? Nobody respects you. Why did Carlisle even turn you?”

“Not that it’s any of your business but he found me dying on the streets.”

“Sure, but he’s a doctor. People die all the time. There must have been another reason. Has he never told you?”

“I don’t want to discuss it with you.”

Hmmm, hit a button there didn’t I?

“Let’s see, who was with Carlisle at the time? Esme was there and Edward. Edward? Interesting. Do you think he turned you hoping you would be Eddie’s girlfriend? Mate?”

Rose apparently had nothing to say so I continued. I put Sherlock Holmes to shame.

“Holy shit that’s it isn’t it? He found a hot blonde and turned her into an eternal booty call for his favorite boy. I mean it makes sense. Carlisle was lonely so he turned Eddie so he could have a friend. He turned Esme because he was horny. But nobody likes a third wheel, so he turned you for Edward. You were turned into a vampire so you could be a piece of ass for Edward. And it didn’t work out. That’s why they don’t respect you. You aren’t what you were supposed to be. Now you’re just a bitter bitch who hangs around with the goofball of the family.”

My God who knew therapy was this much fun?

“And now that Bella doesn’t want Edward he kidnaps her and has plans to turn her into a vampire for his boy. Carlisle is like Edward’s personal pimp.”

“That’s it, I’ve had enough. I am out of here. You can stay fucking crazy for all I care.”

“Rose?”

“What?” She hissed.

“I’m here if you ever need to talk. I’m sure Bella would listen to you as well.” I blew her a kiss and watched her stomp out.

I heard her screaming at Carlisle about the crazy bitch. I wonder who is up next? “Bella baby are you doing okay?”

“Sure am, Angel. Who knew Rose had that many issues. I hope we were able to help her some.” And then she fell over laughing again. “Damn some pot would be good right now.” I thought out loud.

“Amber, we are not smoking again until I know if I am pregnant.” Bella is so responsible.

“You know B if you would wrap him up sometimes we wouldn’t have to worry about this.”

“I know but he feels so good…”

“You horny bitch. Okay listen up here is the plan for the next leech.”

I told Bella the plan and she was game. The door opened. Thank God it was Emmett. This should go well.

“Hi Bella”

“Hi Emmett.”

“Am I talking to Bella?”

“Yes you are and I am so scared Emmett.”

BPOV

The big guy was over by my side in a flash.

“Bella sweetie it’s so good to talk to you. Don’t be scared. Big brother is here to protect you.”

“You can’t Emmett. Carlisle won’t let you. I don’t want to be with Edward. I want to be with…”

“I know Belly Bear, you want to be with Paul.”

“No you don’t understand. I don’t want Paul. He just kept Edward from getting to me. I want…”

“Who do you want Bella?”

“I want you Emmett.”

“Wait, what now?”

“Please don’t deny it Emmett, I have been afraid of Edward and Rose for so long but I see how you look at me. I can see you love me in your eyes. I can’t hide my feeling anymore.”

“Uh, Be.. Bella, I love you like a sister.”

“Is that why you take every opportunity to hug me to your body as close as you can? Why I feel the hard outline of your shoulders and chest and your biceps squeezing around me? I know you want me Emmett. You know I can be better for you than Rose. I can make actual love to you Emmett, instead of just using you for a fuck toy, like I bet she does. I would respect you, Emmett. I wouldn’t boss you around like she does. We could be so happy together.”

“Bella, uh I don’t know. I mean…”

“You’re going to let Edward take me aren’t you? Fine then. But it could have been great. Do you know how many nights when you hugged me I wished our clothes weren’t there so I could feel your whole body. Feel your cock pressed against me? But I understand Emmett. I’m not as pretty as Rose.”

“No Bella, you are. It’s just Edward and, and, Carlisle and the family.”

“They don’t respect you Emmett! I am so tired of watching them ignore you or treat you like a fool! They don’t respect you Emmett. You are a strong man and a protector of this coven. You should be held in higher honor than those assholes hold you. They treat you like a court jester and Rose treats you like a man servant.

Emmett when you are ready to have a woman who will respect you and make every fantasy you ever wanted to come true, take me away. I will marry you and then I will submit to you. Like a good woman should.

Now was there anything you wanted to talk about?”

“Uh no Bella, I guess not. Will you talk to the others?”

“Yes but you have to promise not to think about this. If Edward finds out I don’t know what he will do to me. He may try to take you away from me.”

“I won’t Bella. I have to go and uh think.”

Emmett walked out and I turned to Amber.

“Bravo Bella. You are a natural actress dear.”

“Do you think I could win an academy award?”

“For that? Yes.”

“What now?”

“Now it’s my turn.

Amber POV

Next in line was Jasper. I figured he would be busy. I guess not.

“Get all your daddy’s money hidden Jasper? What’s left of it.”

“Yes Bella, I did. And welcome back. I understand you spoke to Emmett.”

“Bella did yes, unfortunately she is no longer here.”

“And where is she?”

“In the bathroom getting her self off, thinking about Paul bending her over a desk.”

“I see.”

“So what would you like to talk about Jasper?”

“I want to apologize for trying to kill you.”

“Why?”

“Why?”

“Yes why do you want to apologize to Bella? She doesn’t blame you. You got set up by your conniving wife. You’re a vampire. You are supposed to attack. Alice is the one holding you back from your true nature. She is the one manipulating you. I am confused about one thing though Jasper. Could you maybe clear it up for me?”

“If I can Bella.” He looked so serious.

“What are you doing with this crowd? I mean when I was watching you train for the newborn battle it is obvious that you are a born warrior. How did you get wrapped up with a bunch of pacifists?”

“Alice showed me a better way of life. To respect life, Bella.”

“Alice showed you?”

“Yes.”

“Where were you from before you were turned Jasper?”

“Texas, Bella.”

“What did you do in Texas, Jasper?”

“I was a major in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.”

“You don’t speak with an accent.”

“No I don’t.”

“You don’t dress like you are from Texas. I stayed a night in Austin. You don’t look like a cowboy.”

“I realize that, Bella.”

“So why not? You fight your vampire nature. Now you have to fight your southern nature too Jazzy?”

“Please don’t call me that, Bella.”

“Why not? Is Alice the only one who gets to call you that? Does she dress you too?”

“She likes to pick out my wardrobe, yes.”

“So strange.”

“What is that Bella?”

“Oh, I was just thinking how the women have the men in this family by the balls. Did you lose yours in the Civil War before you were turned or did Alice take them and put them in her Gucci bag?”

“Bella…”

“No Jasper, don’t answer. That was rude of me. What she does with your balls is none of my business. Anyway no need to apologize. Bella forgave you as soon as you did it. Forgiving soul, that Bella.”

“It was nice to talk with you, Bella.”

And Jazzy was gone.

BPOV

Wow, Amber really knows how to cut deep. Jasper looked stoic as ever. I wonder who is next up to bat. I couldn’t wait to see. Wow, I would have picked Esme or Alice but it appears the good Doc has decided to make a housecall.

“Bella?”

“Yes Carlisle?”

“Do you know where you are?”

“No Carlisle, you haven’t told me. Most kidnappers don’t tell their victims where they are being held.”

“We have not kidnapped you Bella.”

“Can I leave?”

“Not at this time Bella.”

“Then what is the term for one who is being held against her will.”

“Uh… Bella I want to talk to you about the visions of this other person you have been seeing. How long have you been seeing Amber?”

“Who’s Amber?”

“You know who Amber is, Bella.”

“Is she some vampire stalking me like Victoria?”

“No Bella, she is a girl you have been seeing and talking to for the past two months.”

“I think I would remember something like that Carlisle.”

“Bella are you saying you have no memory of Amber?”

“What’s her last name Carlisle? Maybe that would help?”

“I don’t know her last name Bella. You have never told us.”

“Carlisle, I don’t understand why I am here. I don’t love Edward. I got over him when he left me.”

“I understand you had a difficult time when he left Bella.”

“Yes, it wasn’t a walk in the park but I survived.”

“Bella do you remember how you got the brand on your arm?”

“Yes, I fell on a brand at a cattle ranch. Hurt like hell.”

“Okay Bella, first of all, I am sorry that we left you and this happened to you.”

“It’s my fault Carlisle. I’m always clumsy and should know better than to stumble around a cattle ranch.”

“I mean leaving you Bella. I tried to talk Edward out of it but he thought it would be best. I figured he would see the errors in his ways sooner and come back. I never should have let it go on that long. I am responsible for your current mental state.”

“Carlisle I don’t know what you are talking about. But I am not going to forgive you. Edward left me and that was his decision but Esme and Alice and you abandoned me. I won’t ever think of you as family again. Now I don’t want to talk to anyone anymore, so get out. And stop asking me about Amber, whoever the fuck she is.”

“I’m sorry Bella. We will give you time.”

“Carlisle? I need a cigarette.”

“Bella I don’t think that would be good for your baby.”

“What! What baby? What the fuck are you talking about? What did you let Edward do to me?”

“Nothing Bella. I’m sorry, I thought you were pregnant. I will bring you a cigarette. I believe there were some in your clothes when you were brought here.”

He walked out and in came Edward with a cigarette.

“Bella?”

I looked at Amber and she winked at me. Guess it was time to play my favorite game.

“What meow Edward?”

“I’m sorry?”

“What do you want?”

“I brought you a cigarette.”

“Can I have my lighter please? Chewing on these things doesn’t exactly taste great.”

“Of course love, here you go. Did you say meow earlier?”

“Meow why the fuck would I do that?”

“You did it again.”

“And Carlisle thinks I’m the crazy one.”

Poor Edward had such a confused look on his face. I looked at Amber and she showed me two fingers. Come on Bella, think, you can get more than this.

“Bella love please let me explain why I left.”

“I get it Edward. I mean I didn’t get it then but I do meow. You wanted me safe and protected from vampires like yourselves. I just don’t understand why you had to come back meow. Things were going great.”

“Bella you were having sex with strangers. You were taking your clothes off in front of men.”

I’m up to four. I have to get to ten to break my record. Paul hates this game. I bet my wolf boy is going nuts without me. He will see me soon enough.

“And I was damn good at it to. I made a lot of money. Meow would you like to hear why I don’t love you?”

“I would like you to stop saying meow. I’m getting concerned.”

“Meow? Why would I say Meow? You think I’m crazy?” I looked at Amber. She kind of waived her hand but finally gave me 7 fingers.

“I don’t love you meow, Edward. Get it through your damn head. Meow get out!”

He started to leave and I looked at Amber. She showed me 9 fingers and smirked. Fuck that.

“Edward?”

“Yes love?”

“MEOW!

He walked out and I looked at Amber. She had a serious look on her face.

“The last Meow was bullshit B.”

“It was a legitimate Meow.”

“Fine, now it’s time to get out of here. You game?”

“Yes I think we have worn out our welcome.”

“Grab you cigs and lighter and let’s take a walk bitch.”

We walked into the family room and were greeted by 7 vampires staring at us. “I would like some privacy. I need to get out of that room. I want to watch TV while I smoke my cigarette please.”

Carlisle gave me that Carlisle smile. “Of course Bella. We will be in our rooms. Please don’t leave the house. There are people looking for us. And we will hear you of course”

I smiled my best smile I could possibly muster. “Of course Carlisle.” They were gone in a flash.

I looked at Amber. “What now angel?”

She had an evil grin on her face. “Now we burn this motherfucker down.”
